Friday, August 12th was the BIG day. We were given a Golden Comet hen from my son's flock. All I can say is, "WOW!"
This Chicken is very pretty and is not agressive at all. When we first put COMET in with the other birds, they let her know that she was not welcome. So we had to keep her in a seperate cage for a few days. We have now re-introduced her to the flock. They have not accepted her but they are tolerating her. This is a big step in the right direction.
I have a squirt bottle full of water and if one of the birds is unfriendly to COMET, they pay for it. This seems to be training the other Chickens that being a brat does not pay.
Something very attractive about the Golden Comet is that they lay eggs five weeks ahead of other breeds!
I will post a picture of COMET soon. But until then I'm looking for our first EGG!
